title: Synthesis and photophysics of red emitting RNA templated PbSe nanostructures.
abstract: The presence of excess Pb(2+) in the building block consisting of RNA-mediated PbSe QDs induces polarization in PbSe resulting in an increased red fluorescence associated with enhanced charge separation and supramolecular interactions between different building blocks to produce nanotubular morphology in self-assembly.
